EPA Charged With Lethal Experiments On Hundreds Of Unsuspecting Subjects

A suit filed in federal court charges the Environmental Protection Agency with conducting illegal and potentially lethal experiments on hundreds of financially needy people who were paid $12/hour without even informing them of risks. Based upon thousands of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, procedures undertaken since 2004 and continuing through the Obama administration exposed subjects at the University of North Carolina’s School of Medicine to very high levels of toxic air pollutants. Many of these subjects were already health-impaired, suffering from asthma, metabolic syndrome, and aging (up to 75 years old).

One of the pollutants was a fine particulate substance known as PM2.5, a major component of diesel exhaust which EPA had determined to be unsafe for inhalation at any level, particularly for health-impaired and elderly populations. The administration’s own Clean Air Scientific Advisory Council chairman, Jon Samet, stated that in a 2011 commentary published in the New England Journal of Medicine. House Energy and Commerce Chairman Fred Upton (R-Mich.) reiterated EPA’s position on this in a February 2012 letter to EPA air chief, Gina McCarthy.

EPA has strictly regulated PM2.5 under its Clean Air Act since 1997. Those air quality standards costing multi-billions of dollars are being dramatically tightened. Two of the biggest new ones under its recently D.C. District Circuit Appeals Court-rejected Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and the Mercury Air Toxics Standard, are heavily premised upon condemnation of PM2.5 as a killer. As EPA Administrator Jackson testified in Congress in September 2011, “…particulate [PM2.5] matter causes premature death. It doesn’t make you sick. It’s directly causal to dying sooner than you should.” She added, “If we could reduce particulate matter to levels that are healthy we would have an identical impact to finding a cure for cancer.”

So if this is the case, why did EPA fail to warn their test subjects that the substances they would be exposed to in high doses were so dangerous? While the administration has repeatedly told Congress and the public that PM2.5 can kill within hours of exposure, they only told them, for example, that “You may experience some minor degree of airway irritation, cough or shortness of breath or wheezing. These symptoms typically disappear two to four hours after exposure, but may last longer for particularly sensitive people.”

One such “sensitive person” is an obese woman with a history of heart disease. She had to be rushed to a hospital for an overnight stay after suffering a cardiac arrhythmia during an experiment. And although EPA attributed her heart problem to PM2.5 in a published report, no one ever bothered to warn subsequent subjects of cardiac arrhythmia risk.

Well there is one thing left also leonard and that is the soon to be imposed bye obama and the UN,That would be the dying for many of us! Keep your powder dry and your muzzle clean for you may be able to take a few with you!

And the moron contingent of the Nobama support team saw he was fraudalently voted in yet again. All for the freebies that are to come their way. In other words, give me my "stuff", to Hell with the country! Really intelligent, mature behavior!

Did you see that fat ulgy black woman on the internet her dumn ass voted for obama for her free cell cell phone what a moron some black people are i woul say about 72% are morons.Please don't let me forget about the white trash that voted for him they all so get free cell phones about 80% of them are fema camps white trash sorry ass morons.GOD HELP THE REST OF US.

The EPA needs to be disbanded. It's purpose was suspect from the moment it was brought up for vote. The corrupt environmentalist lobby succeeded in swaying enough vote to have it passed by enough ignorant and uninformed legislatures and an equally uninformed President who signed it into law. Unfortunately it has become a disaster. The Problem with forming an agency is it's ability to mandate different rules within its; charter that are at time disastrous to the very population that it was formed to protect. Those rules should always be challenged in a court of law, But a simppler method would be to disband this erroneous bill in it ebtirity.

So, in the coming lawsuits, the EPA will argue that PM2.5, according to their experiments, really DOES NOT POSE A HEALTH PROBLEM, and that the Plaintiffs are overstating their injuries. The alternative is to admit that they were intentionally harming the Plaintiffs. This could have an unintended, but welcome outcome. I agree the EPA should be disbanded, and if these experiments are as reported, the perpetrators should go to prison.
